I need to repot this Hoya which is still in its original pot I bought 2 years ago. I know I need a pot that is 2 inches larger than the current. Any advice on the type of dirt I use?

NunyabzwxI use my regular "go to" soil for them which is some good soil with perlite or pumice, Orchid bark, charcoal and if i have it, worm castings. 40% soil and 20% for the rest.. They seem to do great in it. It's pretty chunky.

SunnyHoya Pubicalyx grows quickly and can become heavy on a trellis. You can use a plastic pot and place it inside a heavier ceramic or cement outer pot for ballast. The outer pots need drain holes or take the inner pot out to water the plants.

I mix my own soil with roughly 2/3 coco coir or chunks and small orchid bark. About 1/3 is a mix of perlite, pumice and worm castings. The objective is to make a chunky mix with excellent drainage and lots of air pockets. I avoid peat moss usually contained in standard potting soil which holds too much water for a hoya. See the pics. The third pic shows the soil mix in hoyas I bought online. The green bits are timed release fertilizer.

Great soil mix. I too use cocoa coir. With the same amendments except I use cocoa bark.

I’m thinking that pubicalyx is the right thing.
